Sean Patrick Burroughs (born September 12, 1980, in Atlanta, Georgia) was a third baseman for the San Diego Padres in Major League Baseball prior to being traded to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the by|2005 offseason. He currently is a free agent.

Burroughs, who stands 6'2" tall and weighs 200 pounds (91 kg), bats left-handed, but throws right-handed. He first joined the Padres major league team in by|2002, after being drafted out of high school; Burroughs declined a scholarship offer to the University of Southern California to accept the Padres' contract offer.

Burroughs, the son of by|1974's American League MVP Jeff Burroughs, owns a .280 career batting average. Sean Burroughs also starred in the Little League World Series as a pitcher when he was growing up in Long Beach, California, winning the championship in 1992 and 1993, on a team his father coached (the former had been won by forfeit). Sean made waves in the media for his precociousness following the titles, telling David Letterman on his show that he wanted to be a gynecologist when he grew up.

Sean's greatest moments as a Padre include his game winning single in the first game played at San Diego's PETCO Park and a near-division clinching double off San Francisco's Armando Benitez in 2005. Besides those two moments, Sean was a disappointment to most Padres fans, whose expectations were high, especially following Bruce Bochy's decision to move Phil Nevin to first base (from third) and Ryan Klesko to the outfield (from first) to make room for Sean.

It was during this time that Burroughs was given the nickname "The Bachelor," because all he could hit were singles.

Burroughs did not fare much better in the by|2006 season, after being traded to the Tampa Bay in exchange for Dewon Brazelton. Burroughs would bat just .190 in limited playing time before being optioned to the Durham Bulls, Tampa Bay's Triple-A affiliate. Burroughs was designated for assignment on June 22, ending his tenure with the Devil Rays franchise.

On December 24, by|2006, Burroughs signed a Minor League contract with the Seattle Mariners, but did not last for the entire season, and was released on June 15, by|2007.
